Decided we needed a cheap family car on lease...

[Inequality Street]

Yeah I remember when you could get golf r's for just around £250 a month. Unfortunately these deals have long gone and I missed the boat..

I had a Golf R Estate for £202.80 a month. I miss that.

 

[Greeny.]

Still waiting for someone to find me a cheaper deal per month over two years for the same spec of car I got?

New or used? Any takers?

Fairly easy tbh, a 2/3 year old car is around 10k for a 'decent' example if that even applys to this car, Halifax PCP on a 10k used car over 24 months is £139 a month with 1.7k deposit.

The car i've got though came out in 2019. Whats the monthly deal on £15k as thats the cheapest one I can find on autotrader. Plus its a used car. And has 14k miles on it.

Just found it on their website and put it below. So for a 19 plate used kadjar worth £15k and with 14k miles on it that would be a min of £246 a month with the same deposit I put down over the same term. Plus you would have to pay extra to do 12k miles a year. My brand new Kadjar is £185 a month.. I know what I would choose... I did all this research before buying the car believe me...


Option 1Fixed Car Plan(HP )Finance amount £13,250 Monthly repayments £572 Total repayments £13,728 Term 24 Months APR 3.4% Optional lump sum N/A
Option 2 Flex Car Plan(PCP)Finance amount £13,250 Monthly repayments £246 Total repayments£14,631 Term 23 Months APR 6.4%
Optional lump sum
£8,973

You don’t get it and I cba or of course the other option is that you haven’t actually rented it and this thread is just a massive troll and we have been feeding you the whole time, definitely possible imo.

our last family mule was a 2003 E46 320d, bought with 135,000 miles on it in 2011.

We had it for 8 years (and 85,000) and when we sold it I worked out that it had cost £110 a month to run.

Would I have paid an extra £140 a month (taken your initial payment into account) to have a new Kadjar......probably, but the 3 series really was a use and abused (to an extent) kind of family car.

If I was using a lease car for the same purpose, being stung for little marks and scratches etc when handing back would always be in the back of my mind.

Yeah thats a good point. I will just need to really look after it and tell the mrs to be careful 😂😂😂🙄🙄🙄

I never thought about that with leasing.
Learn something new every day. cheers.

P.S I've only ever leased a TV, in the late 90's.

More room inside your 90s tv

It's you who fails to get it. Just spouting 'get a 2/3 year old one instead' doesn't work if its a 1 year old model does it.

Thread of the day right here! After reading the first post I was well surprised to see 140 replys 😂. Some of them though, wow you can tell folk have too much spare time!

Flame Red is a lovely colour on any renault😍. This isn't the Renault I'd have it on though 🤣. @Frasers Cup it looks like you got exactly what you were after, until you started this thread 🤣🤣. Enjoy the family bus, I'm sure it will serve as intended 👍.

Then you can spend the money you save on tyres, servicing, tax, maintenance, repairs, the depreciation and finally the agony of selling it in 2 years time to every expert on the internet.

But at least the missus thinks we saved money even though it cost me hours in time going through all the above.

There's no comparison here.

Cheers oss. Before I posted the thread I was happy. Now all the posts have me doubting myself. 😂😂😂Never mind. It's a personal choice.

There are cars available that are 2/3 years old though surely, maybe not a new Renault as well which would be a bonus.

Each to their own I guess, make sure the children treat it well and be sure to update us in 2 years time as to what you've replaced it with.

I wouldnt ever buy a new Renault either, but i can respect someones reasons for doing so.

Well I wouldn't have bothered buying it new unless it was on lease. Then someone else is losing the £10k in depreciation in year.. plus the fact it works out cheaper than a similar specced used kadjar with higher miles..

You’re paying the depreciation for someone else

You’re literally paying the depreciation without buying equity lol

 

[SC03OTT]

I’ve no issue with the lease. I’ve leased before and bought new. Why? Well it’s my money that’s why.

The car itself is meh for me though. But all SUV type things are meh to me. I just don’t see any advantages. I know many people that have SUV‘s from this segment (Kuga, Sportage, Tucson etc) and they all have smaller boots and less rear leg room and are less economic than my Octavia due to having all the aerodynamic properties of a breeze block. Being higher up is the only - subjective - advantage. The colour is nice though.

 

[Cookson]

it's also something I don't mind the kids scuffing up inside and covering everything with food etc..

Maybe because I haven't got kids, I don't understand this. But how about teaching your kids right from wrong, and not letting them scuff the car up, or trample food into the seats?

Just wait till you’ve got a toddler, nothing can keep the back of the car safe!

 

[Rojer]

Still waiting for pics of the tumble dryer tbh...

I'm 40 years old with zero interest in having children. Missus is of the same view.

 

[Krarl]

Can anyone remember when @TheEvilGiraffe tried selling a fridge he kept his cat food in?





Yeah that fridge is more interesting that that f**king Kadjar

You’re 40?!! Bloody hell. I thought you were mid 20’s. That’s really old!

I'm gonna take that as a compliment on my youthful looks 😂

Omg everyone's now an expert in something they have no knowledge about.. 😂😂 Cos some of the times kids don't listen to what you tell them to do? Did you ever listen to everything your mum and dad told you to do growing up? I doubt it..

And the award of d!ckhead of the day goes to you sir... Did you not read any of the thread before behind the reasoning behind the purchase? Guess not. You just jump on the keyboard warrior bandwagon like half of the other goons on here. I titled the thread as a cheap family car lease deal and you are expecting me to buy a hot hatch or something? Get a grip.

Kisses n cuddles babe

Do you want some?

 

[Frasers Cup]

So it depreciates 10k in less than a year and I'm paying just over 6k over the 2 year period plus getting 12k miles of motoring? 🤔🤔

Nah just get back in your box.

If it’s a lease (which I think it is) and not a PCP then its just about basically a long term hire of the car.

Amongst my many other cars I’ve had various Kia‘s for the last 4 yrs or so on a friends and family scheme through a mate of mine at a main dealership. I’ve paid about £160 a month ...40 quid a week for a new car, no worries about break downs, MOTs, replacing tyres, brakes, exhausts. Also the cars have latest safety features, crash protection and other creature comforts. I know it’s slightly different to the arrangement the OP has but in essence it’s all about what you want from a car and how you view that from a pricing perspective.
The car industry has latched onto the fact that most people want a new car for as little money as possible hence PCP, deposit contributions, scrappage etc.

In the context of the OP’s post he has gone into it with his eyes open, knows what he’s getting and knows exactly what his vehicle spend will be for the next 24 months. A lot of people like that security, also if his wife and kids are in it then the safety systems in a new car make even more sense.

I guess asking for opinions was always going to lead to the man who spent 500 quid 6 months ago on a Fiat Stilo claiming he had a better end of the deal

It's OK. We just all need to buy a Renault sport clio even if we have a large family. It's the clio sport forum logic. Either that or buy a used performance car that will cost you a fortune in maintenance. Like I said before this car is for the mrs and kids. It then lets me me get something more fun for myself that isn't a freezer lol

 

[Krarl]

You literally asked for peoples opinions and now you're pissing like a little girl when people give their opinion. Calling people dickheads and keyboard warriors because they look at your new motor as nothing but a soul-destroying box on wheels

Behave yourself and get in the sea
